For those students who do not hold the master’s degree, the requirements for initial endorsement include the three required courses (IS 510, 520, and 530) plus IS 551, 560, 567, 571, 572, 573, 585, 595 and one elective (upon approval of faculty advisor). In addition, students must complete two corequisite courses from the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences (six credit hours) that do not count toward the master's degree requirements. These courses include:
Educational Psychology 401 (3 hours) Professional studies: applied educational psychology. Application of concepts, principles, techniques and models from Educational Psychology to facilitate student learning and creation of effective classroom environments.
Special Education 402 (3 hours) Characteristics and needs of students with disabilities and diverse learners with emphasis on educational implications. Techniques, strategies and resources for teaching students with special learning, behavioral or medical needs, and the requirements of special education laws.

You may update the wiki yourself or, if you'd like, answer the questions on the following form and your information will be added ASAP. Ed. classes form
Please remember that ALL classes must be individually approved by Dr. Cagle. You must go through this approval process yourself even if classes have been approved for others.
UT Chattanooga offers two online classes that can be substituted for ED 401 and 402. These classes have been approved by Dr. Cagle in the past. The course numbers, tiltles and descriptions follow:
UT Chattanooga Online Classes for Summer 2010
400 Survey of Exceptional Learners (3)
An overview of exceptional children and youth and the philosophy of inclusion.
Emphasis on individual differences among students with particular attention to
students with special needs. The interrelated roles of general and special educators
and related professionals in adapting instruction to meet special needs will be
addressed.
521 Human Development Applied to Education (3)
A study of major theories and concepts related to the development
of infants, children, and adolescents. Focus on typical and
atypical development, age appropriate behavior, and developmental
needs, particularly as they relate to educational practice.
Field component required. Requisite: must be taken during the student’s
first nine hours in the program. (Crosslisted as EPSY 521.)
You will have to apply to UT Chattanooga as a non-degree seeking graduate student, and send official copies of your transcripts. There don't seem to be any short cuts or savings because we are already enrolled as UT Knoxville students. I found this Graduate School Staff Page particularly helpful. Amber Beason was helpful every time I called, and she was able to direct me to whatever I needed.
